J. Pegula vs L. Fernandez — prediction

The model makes J. Pegula the favorite with a 91% win probability, against L. Fernandez's 9% — a conviction read: the model sees the match clearly leaning one way. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.10; the offered odds are around @1.17 (a 85% implied), slightly above the market, so the model is a touch more optimistic.

Several factors explain the number: #3 vs #74 (better ranked); 72% career on the surface; model 91% vs market 85% → the model sees it as more likely than the odds; 8/10 in recent matches.

Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 91%, that outcome happens roughly that percentage of the time, with ~64% out-of-sample accuracy — but being the favorite is not being the winner: roughly 9 out of every 100 times Fernandez wins. The model also tends to agree with the market, so the odds already capture almost all the edge: don't take it as a sure value.
